StabFrame

The StabFrame enables safe and accurate piling in water depths to 2,000m, offering offshore construction companies a reliable, efficient and cost-effective way to ensure that every subsea pile-driving operation goes to plan. Its success is its ability to adjust to varying and shifting soil conditions.

All LM Handling's StabFrames can be adapted to suit any kind of seabed geology by the addition of levelling systems and mud mat extensions.

All StabFrames are designed to DNV-OS-C20 guidelines.

StabFrame-H

In 2011, our StabFrame-H was developed for OSX1 in Brazil.

A typical pile support frame opens at a pre-determined depth, but the StabFrame-H is operated via a work-class remotely operated vehicle (WROV), which negates the requirement for an automated release system.

This also reduces project delays due to varying ground conditions, as the WROV allows the StabFrame operator to react to variations in piling conditions.

StabFrame-S

In 2013, the StabFrame-S was developed for the Kamelia project.

The StabFrame-S is a slotted frame, allowing the anchor lug on the pile to feed through the frame. The frame itself has a fail-safe opening option, in case unexpected soil conditions are encountered.

As the StabFrame-S is a lighter frame than the StabFrame-H, it can also be deployed on smaller vessels.

Main Applications

FPSO & FLNG mooring systems

Wave and tidal mooring systems

Single Point Mooring System (SPM)

Single Anchor Loading Point (SAL)

Pipeline Initiation Points (PIP)

The supply of the StabFrame can be complemented by the provision of hammer packages and lifting tools, or as part of a comprehensive pile installation service contract, including full construction and installation, engineering, and project management.
